Garlic flowers-no bulbils-no curl to scape-what garlic is it?

1st time garlic grower. One garlic scape opened, and there are NO bulbils, just little purple flowers.

These plants were from cloves given to me from a trader, who's neighbor had given her some garlic. She said, "the neighbor said they were rocambole garlic".

I got 12 cloves of different sizes. 2 plants made scapes, 2 cloves died. 2 are still inches tall. The rest are about a foot tall, with no scapes.

My questions are...

1. is, why are there no bulbils? (See photo)

2. Which garlic would make purple flowers only (no bulbils", on straight stems?

3. could this be elephant garlic, and not a rocambole garlic?

I want to leave it to hopefully make seed, so I can have the experience of harvesting, and growing garlic seed, if I get any viable seed.
